    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-09-04) Nelson Bagambe
    This research examines the role of youth to the spiritual growth and development of Buhoma Church of Uganda in Kanungu district. The study defines youth as individuals below 35 years, aligning with both church policies and broader age classifications, including those aged 13 to 19 and up to 35. It highlights that youth play active roles in church activities, such as leading worship, teaching, and participating in outreach programs, which help foster spiritual vitality within the church community. The study utilized questionnaires, interviews, observations, and personal experiences to gather data from church leaders, youth members, and wardens, employing purposive and stratified sampling techniques. It focused on understanding the current roles of youth, the opportunities available for their role, and the challenges they face in contributing to the church’s spiritual development. The findings reveal that despite their potential, youth role at Buhoma Church is often limited or hindered by various factors. Ultimately, the research aims to identify best practices and remedies to enhance youth participation in spiritual growth activities. It emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive opportunities for youth to engage actively in church life, which lead to stronger spiritual development both within the church and the wider community. The study advocates for improved strategies to address the challenges faced by youth, ensuring their meaningful participation to the church’s spiritual vitality.
